On March 15, U.S. Central Command began a series of precision strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The U.S. strikes in Yemen could last for weeks. Officially, the goal of the strikes is to protect American interests, deter enemies, and restore freedom of navigation. The strikes are carried out by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from the Ticonderoga-class cruisers USS Gettysburg (CG-64) and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. F/A-18E Super Hornets from the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman are also used. The F/A-18E Super Hornets use AGM-154 JSOW guided bombs and other weapons.

The Turkish Navy has conducted a successful firing test of the submarine-launched variant of the Atmaca anti-ship missile, according to Haluk Görgün, head of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB).

The test took place on March 12, 2025, from the submarine TCG Preveze off the coast of Mersin in the Mediterranean Sea, as detailed in a press briefing by the Turkish Ministry of Defense. The missile was encased in a watertight capsule equipped with a propeller, designed to fit the submarine’s 533 mm torpedo tube.

After launch, the capsule propelled itself away from the submarine before the missile ignited and exited the capsule. Footage shared on social media indicated that the missile was not carrying a live warhead, as there was no impact observed.

A critical aspect of the test was the submarine’s ability to launch the canister from its torpedo tubes.

Developed and produced by Roketsan, the Atmaca missile serves as the primary offensive weapon of the Turkish Navy, gradually replacing the Boeing RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile.

Turkish company Roketsan has demonstrated the ALKA laser system designed to destroy drones. The ALKA air defense system uses lasers and electromagnetic waves to destroy drones. In the video, you can see the destruction of UAVs and FPVs using a laser and its use against a ground target. The power of the laser beam system is 20 kW. As previously reported, the laser is capable of shooting down drones at a distance of up to 750 meters, at a drone flight speed of no more than 150 km/h. The system creates interference at a distance of up to 4 kilometers. Technical data may change. The air defense system can detect up to 100 targets. The ALKA laser weapon system was first shown in 2019, it is planned to be used in the Steel Dome project of the Turkish air defense system.

Israeli F-35s First To Use ‘Beast Mode’ In Combat​

The “thousands of sorties” flown by Israeli F-35Is in the latest Middle East conflicts have included the first combat use of external offensive stores.

Israel has confirmed that its F-35 stealth fighters have flown airstrikes using external ordnance. The F-35’s so-called ‘beast mode,’ featuring heavier loads on underwing pylons, is familiar by now, but as far as is known, it has not been called upon operationally by any other countries. Meanwhile, Israel’s unique F-35I fleet — locally known as the “Adir” (Hebrew for mighty) — which features various local modifications, has frequently been at the forefront of demonstrating new capabilities.
